Cockburn Range
Situated
near the Wyndham end of the Gibb River Road, the Cockburns consist
of a heavily dissected plateau surrounded by huge cliffs. The
imposing views from the road give no hint of the deep gorges,
permanent pools and beautiful camp sites which lie hidden within.
On our dry season trips, we may use a helicopter to fly into the start of the walk giving us spectaular views that can't be gained in any other way. There is so much in such a
small area that you often drop your pack and wander off on an exploration that might take an hour or even a day.
On most walks, floating your pack across one or more pools saves you a substantial climb.
We used to visit the Cockburns on our Kimberley Highlights and Green Kimberley trips.

Note. A native title claim over the Cockburn Range where we used to walk means that we can not offer any trips into the range beyond a small section just above Emma Gorge until we have negotiated an agreement with the traditional owners.
